If you closely review the photos of the grill, you can see the original
veritical grill bar & horizontal grill bars are missing, and a mesh styled
metal has been used as a substitute. I spoke with the son-in-law of the owner
and he did know that the emblem on the grill and hubcaps were from a Cedric.
However, he didn't seem to know how/when they were added to the vehicle.
